1. Human response to wind turbine noise : perception, annoyance and moderating factors
Sammanfattning : Aims: The aims of this thesis were to describe and gain an understanding of how people who live in the vicinity of wind turbines are affected by wind turbine noise, and how individual, situational and visual factors, as well as sound properties, moderate the response.Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out in a flat, mainly rural area in Sweden, with the objective to estimate the prevalence of noise annoyance and to examine the dose-response relationship between A-weighted sound pressure levels (SPLs) and perception of and annoyance with wind turbine noise.

2. Perception of Sound and Vibration in Heavy Trucks
Sammanfattning : Interior truck cabin sound has for some time been a concern for manufacturers. Today reasonably low sound pressure levels have been achieved using passive absorption. However low frequency sound is difficult to passively absorb and will hence dominate the interior sound. LÄS MER

4. Affect as a Component of Perceived Sound and Vibration Quality in Aircraft
Sammanfattning : The concept of product sound quality is becoming an integral component of product development and design. The research presented in this thesis test the notion that affective reactions (i.e. positive-negative feelings) are a major determinant of perceived sound quality. LÄS MER
5. EVALUATION OF ACOUSTIC COMFORT IN APARTMENT BUILDINGS
Sammanfattning : This thesis concerns assessment of acoustic comfort in apartment buildings. A new approach is followed, beyond noise annoyance investigation, which was the typical path so far. The latter involved acoustic descriptors, which characterize the structural components, being associated to self-reported noise annoyance. LÄS MER
